How did those guys create the “stryker” mutant database section on the official x-men 2 movie website? The menu zooms in and out of the screen using the a and z buttons and I just thought that was way cool. Any clues would be appreciated. See [www.x-men-the-movie.com](http://www.x-men-the-movie.com)

Lots of actionscript to create a 3d engine. It is amazing.

You could probably do this with tweens, but that would be A LOT of tweens a gigantic file size.

oh thats not hard guys 😉 I thought LIB might be able to know how to do that… at any rate its time to learn.

```auto

MovieClip.prototype.makeBox = function(r){ // draw a box
	var clip;
	with(clip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("box"+this.depth, this.depth++)){ // create new clip
		lineStyle(1, 0, 100); // draw the new clip
		moveTo(-r,-r);
		lineTo(r,-r);
		lineTo(r,r);
		lineTo(-r,r);
		lineTo(-r,-r);
	}
	return clip;
}
	
ref = 300; // perspective reference
origin = {x:200, y:200}; // origin of 3d view

for (i=0; i< 10; i++){
	var box = this.makeBox(50); // make box with radius of 50 (100x100)
	box.x = box.y = 0; // all positioned in center of x & y
	box.z = i*100; // space out along z depth
	box.onEnterFrame = function(){ // control its movement, position, scaling etc
		this.z += (Key.isDown(90) - Key.isDown(65))*5; // controll in/out movement (a & z keys)
		this.x += (origin.x-this._parent._xmouse - this.x)/10; // control left/right movement w/ ease
		this.y += (origin.y-this._parent._ymouse - this.y)/10;
		var prop = ref/(ref+this.z); // proportion based on reference and z positioning
		if (this._visible = (prop < 4)){ // only show if proportion less than 4
			this._x = origin.x + this.x*prop; // position on screen
			this._y = origin.y + this.y*prop;
			this._xscale = this._yscale = this._alpha = 100*prop; // scale and adject alpha for depth
		}
	}
}

```

throw this in a new movie and you should get the same effect.  
if you have any questions, shoot.

[edit] oops I forgot to add easing to the zooming… oh well ;)[/edit]

yeah but the question of the day is how would you go about navigating into that 3D Vortex of boxes, and add buttons to dynamically generated boxes…

=) but the effect the code generated rocked…

Wow, that is simpler than I thought Sen…lol. I still think it would have taken me a while to set something up (I am slow), but that code is extremely simple.

I just noticed that… and hey!!!

I am not as good at this stuff as people think I am ☹ I know bits and pieces of code, but putting it all together can sometimes be a problem for me.
